90's Festival Stage Becomes the Last Concert of Netral's Original Formation with Bimo

Kapanlagi.com - At the 90's Festival held at Gambir Expo, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, on Saturday (10/8/2024), Netral 92, the original formation of the band Netral, performed alongside Gugun from Gugun Blues Shelter. Netral 92 consists of Bagus (vocals and bass), Bimo (drums), and the late Miten (guitar), performing songs from their first three albums, namely Wa..lah (1995), Tidak Enak (1997), and Album Minggu Ini (1998) in the formation when the band was first established.

In their performance, Netral 92 played classic songs such as "Sampah", "Pelor", and "Boring Day". Bagus shared that the song "Boring Day" was born because he was forced by Bimo and Miten to write a song in English, and although he was initially hesitant, the song eventually became one of their hits.

"So at that time I was forced by Bimo and Miten to make an English song. But just give it a try," said Bagus from the stage.

At the end of their performance, Netral 92 played other songs such as "Plus Tambah" and "Walah". On this occasion, Bagus expressed that this might be the last reunion between him and Bimo.

He also explained that since 1999 until now, the formation of Netral has changed to NTRL with members Bagus, Eno (drums), and Coki (guitar). Therefore, they only performed songs from the first three albums of Netral that involved the original formation.

2. Performing Songs from the Early Albums

"This is the last reunion of Uncle Bagus and Bimo. From 1999 until now, NTRL consists of Uncle Bagus, Uncle Eno, and Uncle Coki. Therefore, we (Netral 92) are not playing (NTRL) songs now. We are only playing the first, second, and third albums," said Bagus.

Bagus added that after this, he and Bimo plan to form a new band called Brutal, with new songs that will convey a message of love and peace.
